Little Sparrowhawk
I have had several fleeting glipses of a Little Sparrowhawk around Emmarentia in the last few days, including one lovely siting with the bird flying right over my head - giving me a clear view of the diagnostic yellow eyes and cere. Unfortunately I never seem to have a camera handy when its around! Never-the-less i'm super excited to have this voracious little predator around :)

Saw in our garden in Melville day before yesterday, 13 June 2018. Very excited. Have seen a Gymnogene fly over in the past but the Little Sparrowhawk sat perched in a tree for quite a while.
ReplyDeleteGreat birds to spot in the garden, they are very secretive. there is a pair of Black Sparrowhawks nesting in Mellville, so if you are lucky you may spot them too.
